Judy Dworin Performance Project

The Judy Dworin Performance Project (JDPP), located in Hartford, Connecticut, is a dynamic arts organization dedicated to social transformation and healing through performance. Founded by acclaimed dance maker and arts innovator Judy Dworin, JDPP utilizes the power of movement and the arts to foster connection and address social issues. For over two decades, JDPP has cultivated strong partnerships with the Connecticut Department of Correction, developing its signature "Bridging Boundaries™" program. This initiative serves justice-impacted individuals in correctional facilities and the community, aiming to challenge perceptions and promote healing. JDPP also engages in community outreach through arts residencies in correctional institutions and Hartford schools. The organization is committed to pursuing justice and kindness for all, inspired by leaders like the late Congressman John Lewis. JDPP's work also involves advocating for the arts and securing vital funding for nonprofit organizations. You can reach JDPP at (860) 527-9800.
